JOHN HUSTON – Actor, Director. “Although I’m kind of a crusty old fella, Mr. Hari, would you consider doing a portrait of me? I truly love your portrait of Casals.”

JAMES RANDI – Magician. “The portraits you did of me will be remembered or observed or lived with a quality and mystery of its own.”

CLEMENT GREENBERG – Art Critic. “Your portraits have intrinsic value in our world of art. I felt secure being painted by Hari even though much confessional was going on. Despite Hari’s originality he is a painter with nerve and muscle in a major sort of way.”

TENNESSEE WILLIAMS – Playwright. “Kenneth Hari does not paint portraits as they are but as he is. I feel he is hiding something from me. To board a train into his mind would give me a ride into dark adventure.”

PENGFEI ZHAO – Writer, Journalist from China. “Kenneth Hari is not a mere painter of flesh but a master painter of our spirit.”
